Now but a shade
ahead on my life’s course will languish.
Behind is laid
my now abandoned way of anguish. Behind me lies
the spring beneath its cruel icing.
It life supplies –
to summer verses’ door enticing. It’s taken me,
this chilling hand that yet I cherish.
And now I see
in summer’s heart that I must perish.

Additional quotes by Saima Harmaja

Nyt varjo vain
on edessäni elon matka.
Ja takanain
on tuskan tie, se jot’ en jatka. Mun takanain
on kevät alla julman kirren.
Sen elää sain,
sain kynnykselle suvivirren. Sen mukanaan
vei käsi kallis, kylmentyvä.
Nyt suven maan
nään sydämessä hauta syvä.
